Recipe Note
- Pat meat dry to help coating stick.
- Throw out paper towels to prevent cross-contamination.
- Be careful not to overcrowd pan. If necessary, cook in two or three batches.
- To test if oil is hot enough, drop in a toothpick. If it starts frying, then the oil is hot.
- Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil (Not shown in video).
- This recipe can be altered to fry 4 pounds of chicken. To do so, double the dry seasoning and increase flour to 3 cups.
- Cut the breasts in half, for a faster cooking time.
- For crispier bottoms on the biscuits, just open the dome and allow biscuits to cool slightly before removing.
